REVIEWS
“It’s a treat for fans (Heads heads?), and a chance for the uninitiated to tune in to the band that has come to personify postmodernist rock ‘n’ roll.”
“The overwhelming impression throughout Stop Making Sense is of enormous energy, of life being lived at a joyous high.”
“Mr. Demme has captured both the look and the spirit of this live performance with a daring and precision that match the group’s own.”
